lowering bike.

How easy is it to lower my bike. I have a 81 csr 10000 and i think an inch or more would make it more comfy to ride cause i am at a height where i can barely sit flat footed.

When I first got mine I put 12.5" shocks on the rear and pushed the forks up about an inch through
the trees helped allot i only have a 28" inseam so i'm a little vertically challenged also LOL

That works. I put 11 in. shocks on mine to make the swing arm level and put custom trees raked 4 degrees plus a leading axle set of forks from a 1981 csr 1000. Works great but the only pipe I can run is the marving 4 into 1 for ground and cornering clearance. Like the feel, ride, and look

My bike is in storage. Does anyone know what the stock rear shocks are eye to eye?

i'm thinkin 14" I'm sure different models will vary

13.5 0n the 81 ltd and csr 1000

Thanks guys. I will look at shorter shocks for the back and how far do you think I can push my forks thru the trees? i should lower front and back the same amount.

yes lower them the same

Is there an air filler on the forks? adjuster on the rear?

Where did you guys find and/or buy your shorter shocks?

Didn't I just see your bike on Craigslist in St George???
